It depends who you speak to… when you say artist.
In certain quarters, conversation immediately turns to someone with a vocoder and leather trousers. Although there is crossover. Composition has this too.

It doesn’t stop. Claude, Gray, Cozens, Gilpin, Cowper. Amazing. Perhaps too much. And that’s just the old ones. My wife’s drawings are interesting. In the dark they look like Samuel Palmer. In the daytime we see the felt-tips.
They are not averse to the old UV treatment either
